Hi,
Although I posted a little awhile ago, asking whether or not to wait to get some 11n equipment, I've been curious, and one of my laptops already has an 802.11n adapter (an Intel 4965agn), and I was an 11n router on sale (a Buffalo WHR-G300N), so I figured that I'd "dip my toes" into the
11n waters.The Buffalo router arrived this week, and I've been testing with my laptop.
At first, I was only able to get 54mbps, but after some tweaking of the router and the adapter settings, I was able to get between 130mbps and
144mbps.I've been doing research on this, and found that:
- The Buffalo router is a 2.4Ghz router only (but able to use either
20Mhz or 40Mhz channels).- The 4965agn chipset is apparently designed to specifically not use
40Mhz channels on 2.4Ghz.So, at least with the 4965agn, I'm limited to 2.4Ghz and 20Mhz channels.
From searching and testing, it appears that I can't get >~130 -
150mbps, but I have not been able to find any technical information that says that at 2.4Ghz and 20Mhz channels, the maximum connection speed is limited to 150mbps.Thanks, Jim
